Overdue: Snake graphic JS

This guitar is long overdue...it would be the greatest if this could be made and released as a limited edition or something.

Would be nice, but Joe has said himself, the cost to just have the 1 done was outragious. It took Jeff over 1 month to paint the 1 guitar. So if you don't mind a list price somewhere around $10k keep wishing

I'm sure it took a while, but how did they manage to do all the other graphics? I'm curious.

Artists painting by hand, but Snake is about the most intricate design you'll ever see painted on a guitar

There was only 1 snake right?

I'm sure there are a lot of differences between 1 graphic and the next, especially if they were done by different artists. How many did they have working on the graphics at anyone time? And how different could one rainforest look from another?

Too busy for a history lesson.

Those guitars are rare as it is and i would imagine snake would be ridiculously time consuming unless the did a fabric runup like where they had to make more fabric for the floral patterns.
